History

Nascency

The Fierro family unit is influential, which was what first attracted Loki's attention, causing the trickster to seduce Alex's begetter, a married businessman, in the grade of a "voluptuous red-caput" and tricked him into having an matter with the trickster in his female class.

Ix months after, Loki returned at Alex'due south dad's doorstep and left him with their child. The family didn't take the news well, especially after Loki permanently lifted the Mist from their eyes.

Early on Life

Alex lived in a 3 story mansion in either Lexington or Salem. White painted columns were at the archway, and honeysuckle bushes were planted in the forepart yard. There was also a porch, and an American flag rippled on the porch.

Alex spent her life being resented for both her Norse heritage and her gender fluidity past both mortal parents. He would be bullied, both verbally and physically, by his classmates and berated past his male parent while his mortal step-mother did zip to prevent this domestic abuse. Her parents resented her and idea she was embarrassing, and his stepmother was non happy to have him there. They told Alex that Loki put ideas in his head and corrupted him, blaming him for existence genderfluid. Her family unit was rich, but they didn't intendance about feelings and only a son and heir. Alex had other siblings, simply their relationship was unknown, but her begetter thought of them as his "real" children. He also thought Alex'south pottery was garbage and said she had so much potential, and wanted him to exist normal in his twisted way.

She was very close to her Abuelo, an immigrant from Mexico, and he taught her pottery. He told her almost old Mexican myths and legends, and talked to them nearly their heritage, proverb how her family unit had been making pottery for centuries, before the Aztecs. His granddad supported who she was as genderfluid and honored it, telling her about duality people with ii faces, two aspects for each gender. Her and his grandfather also discussed ancestors sculptures, because her grandpa wanted to sympathize it and repossess his heritage. This infuriated their male parent, maxim that he was putting ideas in her head, and hated that he was finding validation from their family.

Alex hated her begetter's pottery business, and called it crap, since it was car fabricated and non done the erstwhile way similar her Abuelo. The company was big when Alex was around vi, afterward her male parent took over and her Abuelo died, when her father fabricated machine fabricated silverware and dwelling appurtenances. Because of this, her father tried to make Alex into a businessman, grooming her to accept over the company, discrediting her Abuelo's ideas, and destroying his art, but Alex didn't let him. He didn't sympathize why Alex didn't want to make coin off of pottery and hated when she listened to her Abuelo'south legends. He made millions and it was a big name, until they realized the quality was going downhill and it became unpopular.

She was involved in a pottery studio at Brookline Village one betoken and went camping ground with the kids there often, going abroad in the mountains to "go away". Information technology was the only consistent place for her, and the owners let her crash at that place when things got bad at home. Alex tried making a pottery man, but it failed.

As for Loki, she would bear witness up and try to "parent" her. One 24-hour interval, he showed upwardly at the pottery studio. He tried to impress her and bear witness her how much he could do for her. He taught her an enchantment that could plow anything into a weapon. She didn't want the satisfaction of him helping her, so she used the spell on the stupidest thing she could think of: A dirt cutter. She didn't think it could be a weapon, but it turned into her signature wire.

When she was ten years one-time, Alex was crush up past a group of teenagers and was kicked, calling her a freak. Alex was too terrified to shapeshift and curled up into a brawl.

Disowned by Family and Life on the Streets

When Alex was fourteen, about two years before becoming an einherji, Alex became homeless when her begetter threw downwardly the stairs of business firm in the front m, and threw a sculpture Alex fabricated at her, which had two faces. Her father told Alex that he just wanted her to be normal, and Alex insisted she was. Her father then said she would accept no more than assist and no more than money, which Alex rejected. Her father said she had and then much potential, since she understood the arts and crafts every bit much equally her Abuelo, and insulted her appearance, spitting on the steps. Alex corrected her male parent and said it was an fine art, not arts and crafts, and her father looked disgusted, and said her sculpture wasn't art, information technology was trash. They both waited for the other to repent, merely her father shook his head in dismay and slammed the door, disowning her.

At some point in life, he lived in a youth shelter on Winter Street in Boston, at roughly the same time when Magnus was at that place. He remembers hating the place. Besides during this time, Alex befriended a boy named Adrian, but he would end up killing himself. Alex was often crush upwardly in homeless shelters frequently. She would occasionally steal from her family unit.
